Android Authority Review: Samsung S6

[STEVESKI07]

I had the Turbo on Verizon but I hated that camera. I opted for the Nexus 6 on AT&T. I concede my argument. The S6 is a great phone for the average consumer and I hope you guys enjoy it. I'll personally be looking out for a phone with a bigger battery. The S6 Active announcement caught my eye because of its rumored massive 3500 mAh battery and its durability.

I keep forgetting that we all have our likes and instead of tearing each apart other over the differences, we should all be celebrating that we're on Android and not Apple.

Yeah I've been really thinking about the Turbo because of great battery life and good (not great) specs everywhere else. But I'm recently finding the talk about the camera issues and it's making it a deal breaker from me. Too bad. I currently have an S3 with a 4200 mAh battery on the back and at times I can kill it in a day.

Get a GS6 and a power bank so that you can fill your upcoming event.

I was thinking about that but the Active line tends to be AT&T only, and I'm on T-mobile. No word on T-mobile getting an Active version.

You could switch. Come over to the Dark Side. Come over to AT&T. ...and get the cool phones.

Unfortunately, while AT&T's coverage at my home is slightly better than T-Mobile's (Verizon and Sprint are both worse) it's still not good enough to have a reliable indoor signal. Which makes T-Mobile's WiFi calling essential to me.

M9 reviews are flowing in and it seems it took pretty bad hit from M8 on battery life. GSMreana, Phonearena, Anandtech are all saying that.

He stepped down a few days ago.

M9 has similar battery endurance rating. HTC obviously did something wrong considering its battery is quite big.

Not sure what this has to do with the AA review for the GS6 but the AA and the PhoneArena say its a good device that missed on the display and the camera. They were also pretty brutal on the battery as well. This news makes me feel more confident in my decision to get the GS6.

 

[jcp007]

I also noticed that AA gave the GS6 a 9.0 rating vs the M9 rating of 8.5. PhoneArena rated the M9 an 8.3. makes you wonder where PhoneArena will rate the GS6 in their review that I am hoping will be out this week.

Or Qualcomm did something wrong.

The AA review mentioned heating issues not burning hot but warm enough to set it down.
